hellluuuuuuuuuu!

here are various photos from summer birthday celebrations, weddings, and other thangs!

mostly photos from my iphone.

seattle-to-portland finishers

stp #3 for pete and whitney! good job, folks!

i hopped off the stp train after year #2. but proud of these two for keeping at it!

204 miles.

the craziest/best/coolest sunset i've ever seen! right on a hill by our house. also shown in the first photo above.

piper's portland pizza party!

i made my pizza loving friend this banner for her birthday getaway in portlandia. we stayed in a cute airbnb and i happened to know the folks who owned the joint. small world!

an unfortunate thing happened having to do with my iphone and erasing all my iphone 6 photos and re-downloading all my old photos from my iphone 4 onto this new phone......suuper irritating. thank goodness for shared cloud albums and the fact that photos you send to your friends stay around for a while in case you need them to send them back to you.

anyhoo, i lost a lot of photos from the last month that i was bummed about. some were resurfaced from various sources.

back up those photos people! upgrade your icloud storage! don't lose all of your friends' wedding photos like i did!

da corndog at interurban in pdx. yuuurrrrM.

and that concludes piper's birthday weekend photos. wahhhh :( damn you, iphone update that stole my precious memories.

pete's hops have been growing so well this year! he just started harvesting them today.

lauren & levi's wedding day!!!!!!

[these are photos i lost in my whole iphone ordeal, but seriously SO thankful for the shared cloud album i did with my friends. i was able to re-save a lot of the photos i had shared with them.]

lauren and her pops, virgil. love that guy.

some of my beautiful friends.

lovely birthday dinner for peter's mom in their amazing backyard. her garden is insane!

ashleigh's birthday bash at birch bay! again, lost a lot of photos. recovered some of us with this cute dog, though. haha.

aww yeeeeeaaa.

gimme that dog.

carly & cameron's wedding day!!!

i spend a whooooole lot of time with this genuine human. my coworker, ian.

so gorgeous in there! it absolutely POURED down rain during the reception. thankfully we were able to be inside. the traffic in seattle on this day was absolutely nuts because of the weather and wind and power outages. it took us 2.5 hours to get there when it should have taken an hour :( pete and i missed the ceremony because of it and i was super bummed. but at least we got to have dinner and party with these fun people!

carly's cute hand-sewn napkins double as beer coozies and/or pocket squares.

heeeere come two of the raddest people ever!

such a nice wedding celebration. i'm so happy pete and i could be a part of it!

my good ol pal lauren is gettin hitched this summer! a bunch of gals and cousin joey made the trek to sin city to celebrate lauren and her upcoming nuptials to the wonderful mr. levi nelson.

here are the kits i put together for everybody on the trip:

LOLO CAME TO PARTY!

i had these balloons custom printed, but i won't mention where i got them from since i wasn't very pleased with my experience. i was supposed to end up with a variety of colors of balloons, and got only white. i'm glad i ordered these super far in advance, because they showed up exactly a month after i ordered them.

everybody absolutely loved them and were super surprised, so it's all good :)

thankfully all these lovely people contributed money to the cost of these kits. i was just bursting with ideas after we booked our trip to vegas and i knew i had to act on it. i'm so glad i did. everybody was genuinely surprised and thankful. i love my friends!

here comes the bachelorette party!

miss piper

molly, lauren's soul sista

linda, lauren's real sister

alyssa

joey, lauren's cousin

marisa

j-brad

ashleigh

j-burg

and for the lady of the hour, lauren lamb:

i felt weird getting specific magnets of lauren and me to hang in my kitchen since i did this project so far in advance. i didn't want people to come over and see the magnets because these kits were supposed to be a surprise for everybody. i got this one of lauren and me from when we first moved into our college house and had a big ol party and made lots of money :) i also got a sticky gram photo of peter and me together so it was less weird than having two random photos of lauren lamb and me displayed in our home. haha.

lauren's kit.

"shit just got real."

a phrase i heard lauren say after levi proposed and they were finally engaged to be married after 7+ years together. i just so happened to find a temporary tattoo of this phrase.

the pizza tats were way better though.
